I haven't played fantasy football in a few years, so this year we are creating a league to compete in. I'd like anyone remotely interested to join, but I suspect that will be a very small number, so it will be a public league. That means anyone will be free to join, so if you have non-GZ friends you want to invite, do it.

I'm willing to be the commissioner or whatever, though I've never done that before. I just need to know if you'd rather have this on ESPN.com, or NFL.com. I've tried both, and I do prefer NFL.com, but the choice is up to you.

Should get this going as soon as possible to build up our league and to get a draft scheduled.

I'm definitely in. I love Fantasy Football. I'd prefer ESPN, only because I have never used NFL.com for fantasy football. It doesn't matter that much either way. It will be nice to have a second league I care about. I do some public leagues online, but if I don't know the others in it, I don't care about it. This won't be my first priority as I'm going on the 8th season of the league I care the most about, but I'm for sure in here.

Alright, I went ahead and created a league for us on ESPN. It's called Generation Z, but it is public. Generation Z FF League.

I put the number of teams at 8. That way it's still fun enough, but not requiring a whole load of people. Not sure if that's a set number, or if you can go over it. And I set the draft day to: Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 2:00 PM ET. It'll be a live draft, so be sure to either be present, or your picks will be chosen by the CPU.

That's great Pum! After hearing that the Lockout was over this is going to be great fun for me and gets me even more excited for the season coming up! No matter what happens I will enjoy this year of football.

I wasn't planning on doing this as I generally suck when it comes to Fantasy Football (or any Fantasy sport for that matter), but Pumjetsu talked me into it. I don't know how involved I'll get, but maybe I'll actually pay attention to what I'm doing this year. That way I don't get dead last, as I have in the past two Fantasy Leagues I've joined.

Excellent, so that means we need 3 more. As for newbies, I think the game is rather simple, and winning games isn't that difficult to pull off. But if you ever have questions about how to play, or want advice, lemme know.

Umm. . .kay. So in a strange twist, we've got 8 members already. We're unable to add more slots, so the league is complete!

So that means we can move up the date to our draft, drastically. That is, if we want. If everyone on here is fine with it as it is, then cool. But if you want it to be moved up, then head on over to the league page. I posted a bulletin about it.

I thought it was a successful season. I'd taken a year off from playing fantasy, and the last league I was in ended mid-season or something. So getting back to the game was fun, though I wish more members would have paid more attention (You know who you are). I fully intend on doing this again next season, and adding more teams. Because an 8 team league is a bit small.

I knew it would happen, but after a few weeks, I totally forgot about the league. The same thing happened my first year (three years ago) when I joined a friend's league. I finished dead last in his league, and I believe I finished second to last, if not dead last in this one. So I'm probably hanging up the boots after two seasons as I've never really gotten the point. It doesn't mean I don't think it's a cool concept for the people that do like it, it's just not my cup of tea.

I would like to apologize for not staying as active as I would have liked to. Fantasy Football is really fun, but I just don't check the ESPN leagues that much. There is only one league I check on a regular basis, and that is a league I do with my friends from Peoria, where we have an actual live draft, and are on a paid website.

That being said, I'd be very interested in trying it again next year, and I'll try to pay more attention.
